Rockdale junior linebacker Derek David is considered to be one of the most talented prospects in the state of Texas in the class of 2012 after recording 93 tackles in 2009 as a sophomore. He committed to Texas Tech this past summer over offers from schools such as Alabama, Baylor, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, UCLA, and USC. However, Rockdale is only half an hour from College Station and David accepted an invitation to watch the Aggies play Stephen F. Austin over Labor Day weekend. He enjoyed the trip enough that he returned this past weekend to see the Aggies beat Louisiana Tech 48-16 along with teammate Le'Raven Clark.
